History WesternAnimation / JonnyQuestTheRealAdventures

The first season of the show focused mainly on these new aspects, and the second "season" was produced by a different team (including a completely different voice cast) with the aim of resembling the classic JQ series a little more closely. [[note]]Actually, each "season" was a completely different series. After [[TroubledProduction production problems]] cropped up with the first series, HB commissioned an entirely separate show called ''The New Jonny Quest''. The show eventually aired as the second season of ''Real Adventures''. They originally weren't even meant to share the same universe.[[/note]]

''Jonny Quest: The Real Adventures'' is a SequelSeries to the wildly popular [[TheSixties 1960s]] Creator/HannaBarbera animated show ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest'', which aired simultaneously on Creator/{{TBS}}, Creator/{{TNT}} and Creator/CartoonNetwork when it ran from August 26, 1996, to April 16, 1997. It covers the same basic idea as the previous versions, that of a teenage boy named Jonny Quest, who travels the world with his family, investigating mysterious phenomena they encounter along the way (sometimes said phenomena [[CoincidenceMagnet come find them at home]], of course). [[AdventureSeries Adventure plots ensue]].

* TookALevelInBadass: Jonny himself was more of TheLoad in [[WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest the original series]], causing more problems than he actually solved, to the point that it was parodied in ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers''. In the reboot, he matured into a competent hero on his own right, more worthy of being the title character than he ever was in the original series.

* CatchPhrase: Race's "Fur on a catfish!", Jonny's "Slammin'!"

* HonorableElephant: Ndovu from "Ndovu's Last Journey." Initially he almost kills Jonney, Dr. Quest and Race after mistakingly believing they killed another elephant, but he stops picks Johnney to accompany him on his journey to the elephant graveyard. After Jonny saves him from the episode's EvilPoacher villains, he returns the favor at the end of the episode and kills the poachers.

* ElephantGraveyard: "Ndovu's Last Journey" has an old elephant Ndovu asking Jonny to keep him safe from poachers so that he can travel to the elephant graveyard and die in peace. When they reach their destination

Ndovu finishes off the poachers who plan to

* {{Claustrophobia}}: Jessie.

* DigitizedHacker: Jeremiah Surd, of course.

** One could argue that in Jessie's case, the one (outsider) man in whom she showed any interest was a SatelliteLoveInterest that turned out to be the bastard of the episode, who was at fault for all the weird happenings of the day.

Creator/CartoonNetwork spearheaded this re-imagining with the purpose of attracting a wider audience by aging the younger characters by a couple of years, making it DarkerAndEdgier, adding a strong female main character in Jessie Bannon (Race's daughter who was introduced in the MadeForTVMovie ''WesternAnimation/JonnysGoldenQuest'', not to be confused with that ''other'' Jessie girl from the 1980s ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfJonnyQuest'' series of dubious canonicity), and adding a tech element in [[{{Cyberspace}} Quest World]], Dr. Quest's fully immersive virtual reality system, which was animated through 3D graphics that wowed the kiddies back in 1996.

!!Tropes:

* AncientAstronauts: The Moai.

* GhostPirate: "The Darkest Fathoms"

* TheMaze: In "Heroes", going with the Greek theme.
* TheMeddlingKidsAreUseless: Averted, notably unlike TOS.
* MediumBlending: Quest World.

* OmnicidalManiac: Ezekiel Rage.

* PublicDomainArtifact: The Philosopher's Stone in "The Alchemist".

* ReflectiveEyes: Ndovu's.

* RoguesGallery: Zin, Surd, Rage...

* TheShangriLa: Or rather ''Shamballa'', in "The Bangalore Falcon".

* ShoutOut: Surd (voiced by Fred's voice actor Creator/FrankWelker) in his introduction episode, "Escape to Questworld":
-->'''Surd:''' Do you know how many times they've interrupted ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo''? And it wasn't even one I'd seen yet. I'm still very upset.

* TakeThat: The golem was meant as a TakeThat to 80's JQ character Hardrock.

** These shots were in the first season only, though-- the Season 2 crew respected Classic JQ.

* UnderwaterBase[=/=]UnderwaterCity: Featured in "Undersea Urgency".

[[AdventureSeries Adventure plots ensue]].

** Referenced in-show at one point. When Jonny and Dr. Quest [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs log on to the afterlife]], they find that while they're wearing the black jumpsuits Questworld normally gives them, they still look the same as they do offline, rather than their usual 3-D models. When Jonny wonders why they're not in the form of their online avatars, Dr. Quest explains that they are using Questworld to exist as minds or souls and are therefore "real", not inside the context of a computer program. Likewise, later on in the episode, Jonny cannot access his regular online weaponry because, where Questworld is sending them, it doesn't exist.

* ScoobyDooHoax: Played (painfully) straight in "The Darkest Fathoms", featuring a pirate's "ghost" rampaging in the Bermuda area, although the antagonists [[RuthlessModernPirates are a lot more hardcore about it than Scooby's usually are]]. Subverted in "East of Zanzibar" in the classic form of "monster destroys the fake monster" and again in "AMOK", "The Spectre of the Pine Barrens" and others.

* AgeWithoutYouth: One episode featured a man who was cursed with eternal life without eternal youth. [[spoiler:And he still looks better than his former friend whose DealWithTheDevil turned him into a soulless squid monster. Incidentally, it was his "friend" who cursed him in the first place.]]

* OffModel: The CGI suffered from this a lot during the show's run, which was not helped by two very important factors. The first being the show's initial CGI house, Buzz F/X (of ''Film/{{Screamers}}'') being on a massive time crunch and ultimately leaving the show during its first season. The other being that production would utilize multiple other studios in their stead, including Creator/BlurStudio and Creator/DreamQuestImages, to fill out the rest of the production to varying degrees of quality. "The Edge of Yesterday", whose CGI was handled by Creator/SonyPicturesImageworks, is one of the particularly uglier looking episodes in the series.
